Quoting the article:

On Friday, the Carolina Panthers fired offensive line coach James Campen, who had been with the team since 2022. The team’s offensive line struggled and could not protect Bryce Young, the first pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. Many of Carolina’s blockers have not met expectations. I’m also told Campen made a few enemies within the organization, as he was the eyes and ears for owner David Tepper in the locker room. In fact, sources at Shrine practice Saturday told me that Tepper had more than a few people in the locker room who would report back to him on the goings on, which destroyed team chemistry.

Tepper is such a joke. Why the F*ck would he be that involved. He should not be anywhere near a locker room or any assistant coaches ever again. He should have meetings with his GM and F*ck off with the men who actually know football and have been involved with the players. /Rant

I don’t blame him for this. Your boss says report to me, you report to him. I do blame him for being a terrible OL coach, and hopefully Tepper doesn’t ask position coaches to undermine the head coach in the future.

I do, but I blame Tepper way more.

How could he possibly believe this was gonna foster a successful atmosphere?

Is this gonna stop now that campen is gone, Tepper is still here, he could easily find another rat. 

Wasn't just Campen, apparently.

Likely suspects would include Tabor, maybe Brown since both are gone.

Some also suggest Jim Caldwell.

It's wild to me that one of Tepper's rats is the same dude coaching one of the absolutely worst units on the team. If I did my job as poorly as Campen did last season, I'd duck every time my boss came nearby.

I wonder if this reporting has anything to do with Dave & Nicole always observing OL practice?

      The Coker thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      That draft, if you recall, was before Fox's lame duck season.  It was the one draft when Marty Hurney was on his own without input.  I overheard Fox talking to Tergovac (I believe it was him--memory) and he was telling him "That's not an NFL QB."  Then he watched Armanti Edwards drop a simulated punt from the jugs machine, and he shook his head and walked off laughing sarcastically.  Hurney nabbed Clausen after two teams that desperately needed a QB passed on him--in rounds one AND two--and bragged that he stole a "top 10" QB.  He tried to trade away our first-rounder the following season to move up to pick #33 to grab him.  Then, rich with the draft capital he saved, traded up (later) for Armanti Edwards.  I read a rumor that the Colts bluffed him about their interest in Edwards and he took the bait.  Brandon Lafell in the third and I think he took headcase Hardy in the fifth or so that draft, with Eric Norwood (bust) in as our fourth rounder. Hurney sucked.

      TMac and Coker are more than adequate for any young quarterback. As far as the group beyond them what exactly are people expecting? At what point do people expect the #1 pick to begin to make his WR's better instead of the other way around?
